Steve watches as the robot takes his glass and refills it for him, not spilling a single drop in the process. Hilda's spell allows it to perform in as human-like a manner as it can, and it's interesting to watch, although Steve's also pretty used to this kind of thing thanks to Tony.

While he's already aware of Viktor's plans for the mines, it's interesting to hear what else he has in store. A sort of research assistant, then? It makes sense. ]
